Oldfield Cardiology Information

Dr Geoffrey Oldfield is the senior cardiology consultant at GS Oldfield Cardiology, who remains at the fore in provision of cardiac investigation and treatment, including echocardiography, angioplasty and stenting. He is supported by a team of over 20, to provide better care of the patient, and better outcomes.

Because of his skills and deep experience in both medical and interventional management of cardiac patients, Geoff brings a wide perspective on suggesting the right treatment for each individual patient.

In cardiology, experience counts, and few can match Geoff Oldfields hands-on understanding, having performed over 30,000 cardiac catheterisations, 4,000 angioplasties on patients and implanted more than 3,000 stents. His drive to keep in touch with the latest developments has taken him to many professional conclaves in the past three years; to cardiac ultrasound conferences at the Mayo Clinic, the meetings of the American Society of ...
